Steam has been used to clean on railways, ships and power stations for around 150 years. Mainly cleaning machinery and the grease and oil that goes with engineering, usually with a long lance and armoured gloves. We all know that because of high temperatures steam will dissolve fats and oils and will kill bacteria (most die at 85°C) So its only a question of control and safety.
Steam is safer in terms of use at a higher temperature where the water particulate is smaller (dry steam) and cools more quickly, the "saturated steam" from a kettle can scald faster than dry steam.
We are poisoning our planet with waste chemicals that we use for cleaning. Just in Australia we pour thousands of litres a day down the drain and back into the environment. We use water at an alarming rate, most people think it's ok because rain falls from the sky and we have lots of it. It is not and we have not. Every year we have droughts and more pipe bans. We are reducing our resources.
The use of steam to clean reduces the use of chemicals by 80% to 90% and reduces the use of water by 90% to 95%; it also reduces the use of resources for heating the water at the same time.
